Religion

Acts 28:6: They changed their minds, and said that, &c

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 12 (1872)

Religion

To opposite extremes so prone,
The giddy multitude
Judge in an hour, the saint unknown
A murderer, and a god!
Ol6. raid entered in, and prayed, and laid his, &c. xxvii

Know all who help bestow
On Jesus in His poor,
Good to the saints ye cannot show,
Without receiving more;
pect your kindness here
An hundred-fold restored,
And when His glory shall appear.
Your infinite reward.

But first your present need
Of a Physician know,
And virtue shall from Him proceed
Who bore your griefs below;
His help if sinners claim
As quite incurable,
The prayer of faith, in Jesu's name,
Doth soul and body heal.
